OPERATING INFORMATION
WARNING
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustment should be performed while
the wheelchair is unoccupied.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reach-
ing and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a quali-
fied healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use of the wheelchair.
ALWAYS wear your Seat Positioning Strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT POSITION-
ING STRAP is an option on this wheelchair (You may order with or without the
Seat Positioning Strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the Seat Posi-
tioning Strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
Always verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure PRIOR to use when an
assistant is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of looseness or
deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to
move the wheelchair by using the hand grips if they are found to be unsecure or
have deteriorated.
